      Looooooong Form 4 Wait Times

      Hi all, I don’t usually participate in discussions about wait times because I don’t feel they are necessarily productive. I’ve been in the business a dozen years and have formed well over ten thousand items in that time. What I’ve found is there is just too much human factor involved at the ATF...

      Tax Free Weekend

      Hi all, Just wanted to remind you that this weekend, September 6-8 is 2nd amendment tax free weekend in Louisiana. You can save the sales tax (9-10%) on any purchase of guns, accessories, ammo, etc. made this Friday-Sunday. If you want a suppressor, please remember that Meplat Group is closed...

      RANGE REPORT: CUTOFF RANGE

      There are gongs of several different sizes. Some as big as 18x36. Sometimes Monte hangs a 2” plate at 800 to challenge the really good shooters.

      RANGE REPORT: CUTOFF RANGE

      We are always closed on Mondays and Tuesdays unfortunately. Every other day it is 9-5.

      J-Frame vs LCR

      Yeah, pick one up and shake it and you will hear the rattle. Then pull the trigger and hold it back and shake it, no rattle. It is apparently the firing pin block that has no tension on it at rest. It is said to be normal by Ruger. I don’t think it’s a problem but it does bug some people.

      J-Frame vs LCR

      I don’t pocket carry mine but have ankled carried various flavors of S&W .38 hammerless revolvers over the years. I’ve been carrying the 340PD for probably the last ten years just because it’s cool and light and I wanted one when I was a cop but couldn’t afford it. It weighs the same loaded that...

      Sale of suppressor

      We don’t take cans in on consignment. As others have said the market for second hand cans is almost non-existent. However, if you find a buyer who is a Louisiana resident, we can draft and mail the transfer documents for $100 (pics/prints/trust extra). The buyer would also have to pay for a...

      RANGE REPORT: CUTOFF RANGE

      You can bring as many rifles as you want. We don’t have racks but do have some tables. You can get your truck pretty close to the range especially if you get there at 9AM when we open. There’s kind of a long driveway that leads to the rifle range that people park on (on the left side of this...

      RANGE REPORT: CUTOFF RANGE

      We take safety seriously but we take a different approach than most ranges. The first thing we do is we are polite. If they see you doing something from a distance, my range officers may yell out just to get your attention and have you stop but then they will come up and explain to you what...

      RANGE REPORT: CUTOFF RANGE

      Yeah, Quizno’s in Mathews on 308. There aren’t any many left yet.

      Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I love to see people out there having a good time.

      RANGE REPORT: CUTOFF RANGE

      Thanks, I really appreciate it. It’s very much a labor of love for me. It helps offset the frustration from people doing dumb **** out there—-today we had a guy shoot a .308 at the 15 yard steel on the pistol range. Thankfully no one was hurt and my guys caught it quickly but that’s a lot of...

      Old guy needs form 1 help

      Hahaha. We try to be as helpful as we can. We can actually draft and submit your F1 for you for $100+pics/prints and stamp. Last I heard they are running about six weeks. Unless you really enjoy government paperwork it falls into the category of things that would be cheap at twice the price...

      Where has all the training gone?

      I think that’s completely reasonable and smart to do. CTT Solutions (Mike Pannone) posted this yesterday and Lewis Frost actually sent it to me. It’s quite timely and on point.

      Where has all the training gone?

      Phobos Solutions is likely your best bet in this area. Lewis has an operational and training resume that is extremely hard to beat. I think he spent like 23 years on JPSO SWAT in almost every role imaginable. Worked for Triple Canopy, lots of Executive Protection work—-he’s not just some guy who...

      Nola Metro Rifle Range 30 mile radius aside from Nick's? Avondale still have one?

      I think Palo Alto is members only. It’s a beautiful place but there are a lot of rules there (some say too many, but that is a subjective opinion) and they are strictly enforced. If you are in the Baton Rouge area it is a viable choice but I would carefully read the rule book and talk to...

      Cut Off Range Complex?

      Big Tattoo, please so not bet Kurt (Advanced Laser). He is one of my closest friends and will probably be pissed that I ruined his hustle but the dude can flat ass shoot. He did UN Close Protection work in Bosnia, spent YEARS in the Middle East working for Blackwater and Triple Canopy, and now...

      Cut Off Range Complex?

      Plates are at 15, 25, and 50 yards. Currently firing needs to be done from the firing line. We hope to have individual bays at some point in the future as we have quite a bit of land to play with. If there is something you want to do and you aren’t sure if it’s OK, please ask. Our range...
